In theory you should be able to convert sheet music from a PDF to MIDI with something like this (I did a quick Google search)

Once you have a MIDI[1] file, you can do a lot of interesting things with your music, such as generating or modifying notes with random values for pitch, velocity etc.

Never realized how easy it was to manipulate a midi file. You can even convert a midi file to csv. Perfect. Thanks!


Food of the Gods was an amazing read but IMHO the audio lectures of Terence McKenna completely changed the way I look at the world.


>Same with Terrance Mackena. All these people who preach psychedelics don't end up accomplishing much besides writing profusely about psychedelics.

As far as Terrence McKenna is concerned, I think the man accomplished a little more than writing profusely about psychedelics. He was a brilliant lecturer. There are probably 100+ of his talks available on YouTube. The topics of those talks often go far beyond mere rambling about psychedelics.


Many refugees are also living in fear of arson attacks. I am not sure if that's the type of free accommodation you would opt for.


I remember meeting Chris Huelsbeck on one of those videogame trade shows in Cologne, Germany. He was a really humble and friendly guy, who'd chat with anyone. I was lucky to buy one of his first CDs, which featured most of the Turrican tracks. Also, thanks to the Factor 5 programmers who wrote the Amiga version !! Insanely talented, I still look up to them these days.


This is great stuff !! Did you actually get a chance to meet Tom Jenkinson as part of your work ?


Thanks Unfortunately I did not. The creative director Robin and Pybus met with him a couple of times. They relayed what everyone knows of him really, in that he's a very subversive and intelligent guy. He decried our era electronic music- and I think that's what he wanted to challenge with his album. This guy is a serious avant garde electronic pioneer- his new album was built entirely using his own software, which is pretty unique and crazy thing when you think about it.


I have to agree with you on all accounts about Jenkinsson. I knew he was building his own patches with Reaktor but was not aware that he built his own software, which is indeed unique and crazy.
